mina’s comments from the The Procrastinators Book Club group.

Hi team :)
Looking forward to it too, although I may not be as active because currently I'm without full access to internet, but I'll try my best to read more than my usual.

Welcome to those new to the games, you are going to enjoy them (I really hope you do), and you'll meet amazing people.

The amount I'm reading I can basically say I'm not reading, but I still want to participate 😅 I would like to be in a team, and I'm one of those readers that read a smaller amount of books, this year I read only 8 books so don't expect much from me 🙈

I'm gonna finish the book! And just comment as I go, and put all those comments in one comment .

* Happy Satie put Sanders in his place, and that even Jamie took him to the crabs to threaten him.
* Wow, where IS Bella? Okay, so things got more interesting now, finally intrigued by the book.
* Niamh and Kahurangy bickering is so fun. Love it.
* Fucking Sanders. Like how can you be such a fucking dick?!
Just wow. The chill he has for everyone dying, like oh great, that's perfect no one will know what really happened, everyone will be so confused haha. Just gaaaah -.-

* I'm just cringing at the exchanging EVERY bit of information with the enemy. How we knew about you attacking? Well a dead colleague hid a phone and we saw the recording, EVERYONE at the base knows, and as soon as we have contact with the human earth we'll tell everyone.. Fingers crossed that you don't find a way and kill all of us and the Kaiju Earth people because we were fucking idiots to tell you that.

Okay so things turned out okay at the end.. I like that we have the story come full circle, Jamie was recruited while he was delivering food, and now he recruited someone with whom he has worked and is a good person while they are doing the same job as him in the beginning.

The humor was not fully my kind of humor, but it was fun so I'm not fully regretting reading it. Also reading it with someone is a big plus, haven't been participating in BRs for a while so that was fun. Thank you guys.

😈

The thing I've been waiting since you started the Shadow and Bone books

So finally I feel like I can join a bit to your conversations about the books.

Yes to Zoya! When I was reading KoS I wasn't really remembering Zoya from the S&B books because I read it a long time ago, but I remember her being like a meany and that she wasn't one of the likable characters. Seeing her here and seeing her grow it's so amazing. I love her.

One other character that I wasn't that fond of in SoC was Nina, I don't know why but I was meh about her even though everyone was crazy about her and waffles.. However, in Kos I started liking her. This book should be about Nikolai.. and funny thing, I didn't care much about him as I was looking forward the most to Nina's and Zoya's chapters.

Picked it up to see the spoiler 😂

I have a thing where recurring things happen and I hate it.. so Jamie (is that the MC's name? Damn, I don't even remember his name) constantly saying his job is lifting things is starting to annoy me. The first 2-3 times it could've been funny, but more than that is just -.-

You are not alone in not knowing who is who 😂 I'm "yes!" for diversity, but also the names are not something I heard while learning English so they are not common for me, and that makes it a little hard to remember.

reply to the spoiler
(view spoiler)[Jamie's first jungle experience was interesting BUT it would've been so much better if it had been more described/written better. Which is applying to the whole book to be honest 😂
* I like the idea for your theory, of the difference of our Earth to the Kaiju Earth. (hide spoiler)]

I finished today's chapters and I'm back at being annoyed with the writing, or maybe it's just the audio narrator whom I looked up because the voice sounded like something I already listened to... And I was right, I listened to a book narrated by the guy and it was non-fiction. Also the narrator is Wil Wheaton and for some reason he annoys me 😅 so that definitely doesn't help with me enjoying the narration.

How goes the reading for the other buddies?

So, I'm continuing today the 4th chapter I started and couldn't finish yesterday. I like how the Greenland they are visiting is actually green as it was before it all was covered in snow and ice.

I don't remember the synopsis but I know it sounded interesting, but yes, the narrator is just killing me too.

Part II of the comment 😂
Betsy and Kevin, love the normal names for kaijus

I finished chapter 12.. The world certainly is interesting, and the writing even though it's still bad... I'm warming up to it a bit.

Hey! I planned on starting it and probably would've just moved that plan for tomorrow so that I can watch TV series now, but since you messaged I started it now. Yay.

*Well, this is going to be interesting for me. I don't think I'm going to like the MC's narration, I can't explain it but it's a tad chaotic, "try to be chill and funny" kind of writing and that irritates me.

(After finishing chapter 3, and not moving on because I'm feeling so sleepy, I have to say that I think I know what's up with the writing and me not liking it. The audio narration that I'm listening to sounds like I'm listening to a memoir, or some other non-fiction book, which is something that I usually avoid 😅)

* Chapter 2... well that lasted long 😐😅
* Murderbot is mentioned 😃 I love that, when characters from other things that I've read are mentioned. Have any of you read the Murderbot novellas?

And I love that you are reading and actually commenting in the thread 😂
But truly it's wonderful to follow your journey through the books and knowing, mostly, what happens.

you have my blessing 😂
KoS books have a more interesting plot, or at least it had a better flow for me, and plus some things.. aaaah 😁 I'm so looking forward to your readings of the books.
